- Modest
- Meaningful
That works out to about 20 million per cup, while dog probiotic supplements usually dose in the billions. Adding them after cooking is sensible, but the amount is too small to settle a troubled gut.
Modest Real, but smaller than the pack makes it sound.
Duck, duck meal and chicken meal lead and carry the protein. The roasted quail and duck the bag sells sit 11th and 12th, behind natural flavor.
